Squid Squad NFTs: The Creation Process
We originally announced the creation of the Squid Squad a few months ago, and we’ve been super busy getting them ready ever since! We are extremely proud of these NFTs and think they are going to be one of the most popular collections in DotSama. Trust us… they were well worth the wait!
Top-Level 3D Art
When we first got the idea for the Squid Squad collection, we approached the very best artists we could find to make the art. We had long been fans of the Donkey Gang collection, so we contacted its creators, Stickyfactory (SFY 3D Studio). These guys were absolutely painstaking in their attention to detail in the creation of the Squids. You can learn more about SFY’s creative process in this video.
RMRK 2.0 Technology
The Squid Squad collection has been built on top of Web3’s most advanced NFT protocol — RMRK 2.0. These are feature-rich, interactive, NFTs that can be equipped with non-fungible items like clothing. We knew from the start that we wanted the Squid Squad to be RMRK 2.0-native, and (we have to admit) there were some technical blockers to getting these next-gen NFTs out on time. But we’ve done it… with the amazing help of our partners at RMRK.
Who is getting an NFT?
Over the course of the last few months, we have awarded Squid Squad NFTs to community members who have participated in certain events and competitions or who have reached ‘level 2’ in the Subsquid ambassador program. These will be the first NFTs to be distributed.
In the coming days, weeks, and months, we will be releasing more Squid Squad NFTs through similar events. We will also be selling a portion of the NFTs on the Singular marketplace to fund community efforts (more information about this coming soon).
